Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order. This is not a probability of success.

Discussions that performed work without a confirmed outcome: 1

0 original-poster resolution reports. Counts can overlap; they are not unique people or a success rate.

0 discussions have direct query context; 0 report a fix in that context. Other evidence may inherit the discussion’s subject.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

1 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I know the oil issue has been hashed around a lot and I have read numerous posts. Given that my new (to me car) already needs a new transmission due to a bad PPI , I am now paranoid about everthing. Issue: Oil pressure gauge appears to read about 0.8 bars low. Oil: Mobil 1 0W40 - changed last week. (I will likely go to a 5W50 next time) Car: 1999 996 C4 - 6 speed - new to me in the last couple of weeks. Engine: Remanufactured 3.4L with a total of 25K miles on it. Cold start up - 4.0 to 4.2 bars - never higher Hot idle - 0.8 to 1.1 bars idling at about 600 rpm - engine temp showing ~190F (no evidence of oil pressure warning light) Hot @ 3K rpm - 3.0 to 3.1 bar Does this sound like the sender more than anything? Given that it appears to be consistently off by about 0.6 bar.... Many thanks
